Holy Shit! Our worse fears have been realized--Konan is, indeed, badass!
An injury?! On slip-slidey Madara?!!! SURVIVING inflicting said injury?!!!!!!!!! (Sorry Aburame dude. You got "surprise buttsecks"ed away to injure Madara. We'll...miss you, question mark?) That, my friends, is gangsta.
And I'm sure she had time to set this technique up beforehand, but HOLY SHIT DOES HER LAST TECHNIQUE LOOK BADASS! COLLEGE-RULE ABYSS, BITCHES!!!!
And her paper remains stable in the rain, where before Pain had to stop the rain first for her technique to work. It's a shame that she's destined to lose this fight, but it would've been awesome to see her in a fair, non-main-antagonist battle...
holy shiet best ep in a loong long time
Hearing Madara claim he gave Nagato the rinnengan makes me think he may actually be Rikudo's eldest son. If Madara is the eldest son, then it makes sense that he would be able to give Nagato the rinnengan because all Ocular power originated through him
Beware of the Kyubii
Stev3child - The biggest pussy of them all is rokudaime sennin though. If he was a real man, he wouldn't have relied on hax god-given powers to seal the Jyubi. He would have suplexed that bitch and ripped each tail from the beast one by one with his bare hands.
NOooo. Why did Madara have to pull an Aizen!? WHYY. It'll be interesting to see the explanation.
I didn't think Konan would be able to injure Madara like that, but she sure surprised me. Respect to her upcoming loss. PAPER > SHURIKEN
Agent paper Yomiko!
Konan is way up in the sexy stock market right!
Madara's BSing again. He's trying to trick her into giving up Nagato's position. The Rin'negan is the transmigration eye, meaning the bearer is reincarnated after death with the Rin'negan. Reincarnation isn't given, and Madara would have no control over it.
72 hours of hell!
Hmm, I don't know about that theory. I mean it's interesting, but then the entire story of Madara's youth and rise amoungst the Uchiha goes right out the window. What about taking his little brother's eyes to form an EMS?
And then there's the age factor. He'd have literally been alive for centuries, and yet somehow managed to hide his true identity from everyone? Considering all his interactions with fellow clansmembers and enemies alike, that's all way to unrealistic within this story's context.
Still, him claiming he gave Nagato the Rinnengan came out of nowhere. I could see him influencing Yahiko to form Akatsuki at some point for his own devices, but the Rinnengan thing is just nuts.
I actually quite enjoyed this chapter, for a change.
Because, "Tobi" may not be "Madara" after all - That's where his theory would kick in.
That would make Kabuto having shown "Tobi" the real "Madara" in the casket, all the more likely.
That being said, I very much doubt this particular theory will turn out to be true.
Ah! I see clearly now. So Madara is a just a idiot. Makes sense for all I thought he been foreshadowed with hell lot of experienced but now that you mentioned it Tobi. Here I thought that was just his comical side.
This chapter was awesome Konan!! I thought she was just the bitch of the group but dealing that blow to Madara badass.
Page 15 almost seemed like;
Madara: Scissors beat Paper. You failed.

Flush-Trimming Router Setup
Here's a way to quickly trim the solid-wood edge banding on plywood shelves yet still give good support for your router. First, cut dadoes to fit the shelving in a single piece of scrap plywood; then rip that piece down the middle to make two perfectly matched caps.
Clamp the shelves between the dadoed caps, as shown below, and then trim the banding with a flush-trim bit in your router. The shelves on either side keep the router from tipping.
If your router wants to tip when routing the outer shelves, rout all of the inside edges first, then unclamp the caps, swap the outside shelves with a pair of inside shelves, and trim the remaining two edges.

The Galaxy Mega series of devices has got a new successor in the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 phablet. Apparently, this device is now being sold in Malaysia.
Samsung authorized Malaysian retail shop SenHeng has advertised the phablet as available. Apparently, the device comes with black and white colour options. Furthermore, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 is priced at RM 1,299 outright that roughly translates to US$410 and AU$439. The phablet can also be purchased at a zero-interest monthly payment scheme for RM 51.88 extending up to 24 months, according to GSM Arena.
When it comes to the listed specifications, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 features a 6-inch TFT display packed with 720 x 1,280 pixels HD screen resolution and 245 ppi pixel density. Hence the screen size of the Mega device is a little short of the predecessor Galaxy Mega 6.3 and a tad larger than the Galaxy Mega 5.8.
The device is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz. And it is backed by 1.5 GB of RAM. The Mega 2 will run on Android v4.4 KitKat OS. As far as the camera goes, the handset will sport an 8 MP rear-facing camera unit. Also, the Galaxy device comes with 8 GB of internal storage capacity and microSD card slot for expansion. It is worth noting that, previously leaked information pointed to a 16 GB of in-built storage capacity.
According to earlier rumours, the Galaxy Mega 2 with model number SM-G750A was spotted in FCC site. Therefore, the device can be expected to be released in the U.S. shortly. Also other rumoured specifications include a 2.1 MP front-facing shooter and a LED flash for the primary camera unit. The smartphone will support standard LTE connectivity with VoLTE and FM Radio. Also, the device will be backed by a good 2,800 mAh battery unit.
However, Samsung has not confirmed any of the above information thus far. Interested readers should check out the image of the promo pertaining to Malaysia from GSM Arena.

The language of birds: 2.1 Calls as deceitful mimicry
Vocal appropriation of the sounds of other birds, as in wild marsh warblers in Europe, mockingbirds in North America, Lyre-birds in Australia and robin-chats Cossypha sp. in Africa, is globally limited to perhaps a few hundred species. In Europe there are about 30 mimics out of about 400 nesting species of all kinds. This has been commonly labelled "mimicry" which conforms to the dictionary use of the word as "copying minutely", but not to the biological meaning of the term which implies deceit. Batesian mimicry in butterflies is the visual "copying" (over long periods of evolutionary time) by one (palatable) species of another (distasteful) species' appearance in order to deceive a potential predator. One of the few fully substantiated cases of this in birds concerns a thick-billed euphonia Euphonia laniirostris that deceived individuals of another species by copying their nest-alarm call. Anxious to defend its nest the bird employed a call to get members of
another species to mob the enemy while the caller itself hid in safety! Eugene Morton, an American ornithologist, approached the nest of the thick-billed euphonia, thus casting himself in the role of potential predator. The adult euphonia, instead of giving its own nest-alarm call, gave that of anotherlocal species, and two individuals of that species were sufficiently provoked to mob Morton. Meantime, the nest owner remained hidden and continued its mimicry! The European jay Garrulus glandarius and the African Natal robin- chat Cossypha natalensis are also well-known to mimic the alarm calls of species other than their own when a potential enemy, (usually the observer), is at the nest site or near fledged but dependent young. It could well be that these parent birds are also inveigling other species into helping them.
European Jay Garrulus glandarius
A case of a different kind concerns a fork-tailed drongo Dicrurus adsimilis in Africa that learnt to whistle like a local shepherd. Such copying could be true (deceitful) mimicry if its effect were to deceive local birds of prey into avoiding the general area of the drongo believing the shepherd to be there. In other words the drongo, knowing birds of prey probably avoid human beings, gives the impression that there is a shepherd about. This assumes, of course, that the local hawk knew the local shepherd by his whistle. A second case concerns a satin bowerbird Ptilonorhynchus violaceus that during its pre-copulatory display includes, predominantly in its imitative song, the calls of the raven Corvus coronoides and the kookaburra Dacelo novaeguineae, both of which are takers of eggs and young birds. The suggestion is that by deceiving a third party - another species that is a competitor with the bowerbird for, say, food -into believing there are ravens or kookaburras about, the bowerbird is less likely to be troubled. One Australian ornithologist once heard a spotted bowerbird Chlamydera maculata imitate a whistling eagle Haliastur sphenurus and the local hens and chicks ran for cover.
By the same argument it is suggested that a mockingbird, anxious to keep out, say, a food competitor of a different species, will weave blue jay Cyanocitta cristata calls into its song. You may be tempted to ask why doesn't the bowerbird or the mocker simply imitate the competitor exclusively? An "x" on hearing another "x", would surely take the hint. The answer must be that a prohibitively high degree of fidelity would be needed. Another possible interpretation of these two cases is that the bowerbird and the mockingbird may be using imitations of large aggressive birds to keep out other bowerbirds and mockers respectively as an alternative means to holding them at bay with their own territorial song!
In some ways perhaps the most remarkable case of deception concerns a forest falcon of the genus Micrastur (the Slaty-backed M. mirandollei) which in Panama acoustically lures prey within range. The bird apparently hides itself in a suitable position, gives copies of a distress cry, and tasty birds come to investigate. Once one such is within striking distance, it is pounced upon and eaten. This behaviour, carefully observed by a British ornithologist, Neal G. Smith, lends some credence to an African claim, not yet fully accepted as fact, that the African crowned eagle Stephanoaetus coronatus whistles like a monkey to lure it to its death.

Asynchronous online dialogue offers advantages to learners, but has appeared to involve only limited use of new literacy practices. To investigate this, a multimodal approach was applied to asynchronous dialogue. The study analysed the online discussions of small groups of university students as they developed collaboratively authored documents. Sociocultural discourse analysis of the dialogue was combined with visual analysis of its structural elements. The groups were found to employ new literacies that supported the joint construction of knowledge. The documents on which they worked together functioned as 'improvable objects' and the development of these was associated with engagement in 'attached dialogue'. By investigating a wider range of conference dialogue than has previously been explored, it was found that engaging in attached dialogue associated with collaborative authorship of improvable objects prompts groups of online learners to share knowledge, challenge ideas, justify opinions, evaluate evidence and consider options.

We've all got a screw or two loose, or else we wouldn't even be here talking about any of this...LOL.
Not sure how you do it but here's my take: When I started looking at doing what you are already adept at in AZ here, I sort of overlayed maps in my mind, starting with the first one as a map of the major networks of singletrack trails south of I-40. As you do, I then isolate and lay out all fuel and food sources, and put them on the master map. Then, I look for the coolest routes of dualsport-style riding, forgotten mining roads, water drainages/sandwashes that can go between them.
When I do this in this order, the scenery and remoteness off of the tracks always just seem to fall into place. Lastly, once I know that remoteness is established in certain areas, I look for areas where a HP heading or three can be put in safely.
Sometimes, as you state, the access for chase vehicles and bivouacing throws a monkeywrench in the works, but it's usually not a huge force of compromises.
The areas you are looking at all have generally similar weather and temperature patterns, all being on the Colorado Plateu for the most part. The areas I'm talking about are tougher to schedule, because they can easily be snowed in for ~4 months of the year or way, way to hot to ride during the day for the opposite 4 months of the year. The reward is that from Young to Payson to Fountain Hills, for example, you go through multiple types of forests and get a full range of anythign from tight woods in the pine trees to wide open desert sandwashes.
You probably already know this, but the Coconino National Forest(most of Northern Arizona that is not State land, or reservation) just recently changed their policy for motorized travel to "Closed unless marked." It used to be the opposite, and when I was growing up in Flagstaff we could pretty much go where ever we wanted in the forest up there...perfect for rally training, but now it's gone...

No OfferEasy InterviewApplication
I applied online – interviewed at DynCorp International.
There was no interview. After applying, I was later contacted by phone and told I got the job. After 5 years here, I still have yet to meet the lady who called me. I don't even know where she works. Everyone I know didn't go through an interview. They love military, but I know of 4 employees out of 500 that have no military experience. I was former military.
Interview Questions
- When can you start? 1 Answer
- No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days – interviewed at DynCorp International in January 2015.
Applied online for a few jobs around the end of last year, received a call from a recruiter about two weeks ago and she asked my job experience relevant to this position and I told her everything I did and it matched the requirements and everything was fine. Was told where I would be working (Country/Base) and given the salary, the benefits, and even the departure date if hired. She then asked me if I could e-mail her a resume highlighting particular key experiences relevant to this job. I had a resume but it did not highlight what they wanted to see but no big deal. She asked about my military experience and I stated I served 17 years and took the early retirement, she also must have seen my DD Form 214 and military rank I departed as and noticed I lost a rank and she asked why and I gave her a very general explanation and she concluded it sounded like no big deal being I retired with an Honorable Discharge. I was relieved it did not seem to be a big deal and really though nothing of it, I mean I received an Honorable Discharge and am receiving a retirement pension. I was "forced out" though with the "budget cuts" but was able to retire early. I got into trouble almost 2 years in the past and it was not a huge deal and it was non-judicial punishment and I did not have a court-martial, was not confined, and it's not on my permanent record. Two days later she called and asked for a better copy of my DD Form 214 so they could see my discharge type (even though it was on the one I provided but I forgot to scan an additional page). I called and said I would send it to her, and also stated my resume looked great but also said her management seemed concerned with me losing a stripe and the "general reason" I provided to her and she asked me to write a "memorandum" highlighting everything which I did later that night. A day later (Thursday), she e-mailed me and stated she was submitting this to their supervision for review and she hoped she would be able to make me "that offer." On Friday, I got one of those canned and faked out "We regret to inform you we are pursuing other qualified applicants....Thank you for your interest." I called and asked her details and her supervision felt I was "lying" and covering up the reasoning I received an Article 15 and lost a stripe in comparison to the reasoning I provided. I mean maybe my CO was a bit of a "hard head" who implemented a relatively serious punishment but they did not even consider that reasoning and only speculated/came up with a conspiracy theory I was lying. They also brag to have a "best buddy" relationship with the military and they are their biggest customer and this may be detrimental to that relationship. I mean, they could not reach back to me and maybe ask me for somebody I could direct them to from my old command to verify this punishment, many of them who thought I received the "shaft" on this. Technology is great, they could have found out my information another way and my punishment did not cause me to lose my security clearance or receive criminal charges and I received an HONORABLE discharge. I guess that did not mean anything..... I think they're either inept or were fishing around for an excuse to not consider me based on this irrelevant past information. The best part is that she said I could always apply later on but in my mind, I wonder if this issue would still hinder me in the future and she also stated she was "my biggest fan" but people above her made the decision(s) they did and pretty much based on nothing but speculation and paranoia or whatever.
Interview Questions
- Asked why I lost a stripe in the military despite the fact I received an HONORABLE discharge and was in "retirement" status 1 Answer
- No OfferNegative Experience
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days – interviewed at DynCorp International in January 2015.
I applied online via the DynCorp International Website at the end of December then I received a call after about 4 weeks from a DynCorp Recruiter who sounded positive about me and went over the particular job I applied. She asked if I was experienced with certain systems and certain things that were required with the job and I said I was. She sounded positive about me and stated everything about this position to include the location (country of assignment) which I thought was great because it was the same location as my last deployment I was on while in the Air Force then she covered living conditions there, the pay, benefits, and EVEN a departure date. It almost sounded as if I was about to receive an offer then she stated the "Supply Manager" would be conducting another interview with me. We then discussed my military experience and she looked at my DD Form 214 and the experience I placed in the computer and she noticed my rank and asked if I had "lost" a stripe and I said yes then she asked why and I gave her a very general description because it is something I was embarrassed about. She then said it would not be a big deal because it did not sound like anything "criminal," a small mistake, and I was discharged "HONORABLY" with a retirement pension. She asked me to update my resume showing my experience in those places that were required for this position and I did that then sent it later that night. Two days later, I was at work and had a missed call from her stating she needed another copy of my DD Form 214 scanned because the one I had uploaded to my profile was missing the last page so I went home and grabbed my copy then scanned it from work. I called her to let her know I did that and she was thankful and stated her manager was impressed by my resume but they were also expressing "concern" over my lost stripe and the thing that caused it and I was wondering why she did not say that in the voice message she left about my DD 214. She said it would be best to craft up a memorandum stating that and I did that and I gave a detailed explanation on what happened, why, and even stated it was my fault. I also enclosed some memorandum for records from former supervisors and co-workers containing positive comments about me which were written before I received my final punishment for my act. One day later, she thanked me for that and stated she sent them to her supply manager and still sounded hopeful about my employment there and still sounded like this would not be an issue. Less than a day later while I was on lunch at work, I received one of those usual e-mails you receive from jobs where they say, "I regret to inform you, we are pursuing other qualified applicants for this position"..... Yes, this was just an e-mail. I then called her and she claimed the Supply Manager thought long and hard about this but just was not comfortable with my explanation on why I lost that stripe ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO and went and "consoled" with their "security manager" and they concluded this probably was a bit more than what I wrote, instead of thinking I may have had a "hard" commander, and I retired at 17 years due to the force reduction cuts in 2014 at 17 years and they thought it was "suspicious" I got out three years before my 20 and an incident like that should have kept me in there. I explained to her I was forced to retire because of the "cuts" and this act I did in early 2013 was a factor but NOT the direct cause or my commander would have recommended discharge back then and that's why I could not stay until 20. I also stated I retired and had an HONORABLE discharge and never lost my "Secret" security clearance over this and said they could ask anybody. So, I was qualified for the job, more than qualified but they made me ineligible for this position because of "theories" about something in my past I was completely honest about, I have no criminal record, I did not lose my security clearance, and have an HONORABLE discharge and will receive a retirement the rest of my life. Sounds like they were "fishing" for something there and they sound pretty inept and I really hope they get some people there with some sense and this was ridiculous. They claim to have a close relationship with the military or Air Force so why don't they have "blue suiters" in the AF they could have consoled regarding me instead of jumping to conclusions? Why didn't they bounce questions back to me to get some insight on this? This was ridiculous and DynCorp uses "recruiters" and not the normal HR people and it's rare from what I hear, to get a call from a recruiter and I figured they should have had all this stuff straightened out before my first call..... The recruiter also said she hopes I apply for something later on (not sure how long from now) and could have a chance getting that but I'm not sure if they'll still ask the same BS questions about my past act in the military.

I applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at DynCorp International in June 2014.
The company did the interview over the phone so not too much pressure. Questions were geared 90% towards the knowledge of the PBUSE system and it's processes. The other 10% of questions were towards behavior scenarios and situation type questions.

No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage InterviewApplication
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at DynCorp International (Falls Church, VA (US)) in April 2012.
I had two phone interviews followed by several weeks without hearing anything. I was contacted for an onsite interview at their corporate headquarters which was held on April of 2012. I was told by the recruiter that I did very well and they had one internal candidate to interview and they would let me know. I heard nothing for several weeks and finally contacted the recruiter who said the position was on hold. During this time I submitted my expense report for my meals and some other travel-related expenses. After resubmitting my expenses two more times over four months I gave up and never received my reimbursement. Thankfully air, hotel and car were direct billed. I also never heard back about the position. I did see it reposted several months later. I was disappointed that I never heard from the hiring manager again which I would expect if the position was on hold, or get an official rejection not to mention reimbursement. This spoke volumes as to the type of company DynCorp might be.

17 & 21 Dec 0817 DecWe've decided to put all the beams for the greenhouse roof in place so we can grade them properly. We need the roof to slope slightly from East to West (as well as from front to back) so the rainwater drains off easily. They also need to be as flat as possible so the next stage of wood sits well without too many gaps and lumpy bits. Here they are all in place - looks simple doesn't it but boy were they heavy! They're tied in place at the moment as we still need to chisel the bottoms before we pin them down. 21 DecColin, my brother, spent a few days with us this weekend so we just had to get him thumping tyres. Thanks for your help Col.

Smart Business spoke to Lee Dresie, a partner at Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP, about ensuring that your business does not assume all the risk in a transaction by carefully examining form contracts.
Form contracts account for more than 80 percent of all agreements used to complete business transactions today. That percentage may be even higher when it comes to commercial real estate transactions like the ones you signed to acquire a corporate headquarters or satellite offices.
Unfortunately, many executives do not carefully review the specifics of a form contract before signing. Instead, they assume the form contract to be an agreement equitable to both parties. However, unless the form is an industry-neutral form such as one from the AIR Commercial Real Estate Association or Commercial Association of Realtors, terms in a standard form contract are designed to favor the party that presents it....

No human should ever be enslaved. ITEMP is committed to rescuing those that are trapped in the horror of human trafficking. By providing the support, care and rehabilitative services that each victim requires, ITEMP is able to break the chains, help make them whole once more and build brighter futures. Help us change lives.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Millions of people have had their basic freedom and dignity stripped from them by traffickers. At any given time, there are 214 million child laborers in the world. 127 million are working in hazardous conditions. 12.3 million people are trafficked, and 1.4 million of them are forced into prostitution. These are sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers, and children and they all deserve to be treated with love and respect.
How will this project solve this problem?
ITEMP provides medical, psychological, legal, social, shelter and education services to victims and their families. ITEMP has a current operating focus in Guatemala, and the USA with past human trafficking / forced labor research activities in several countries in Asia. Soon, with your help, ITEMP will be opening a collaborative victim services project in Europe. By addressing the root causes of trafficking , as well as directly assisting victims, ITEMP is breaking the bitter chains of slavery.
Potential Long Term Impact
ITEMP searches for long-term, sustainable solutions to the root causes of slavery. By educating a child, by finding employment, providing training, counseling, or supporting alternative income approaches for a woman, or by giving dignity to a man, ITEMP is able to provide the crucial stepping stones to changing lives. In doing so, ITEMP drastically reduces the chance that persons will be victimized or re-victimized. It is not just about treating the symptom, it's about curing the disease.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Marcasite, a name derived from the Arabic word for pyrite, is the term applied to small polished and faceted stones inlayed in sterling silver. Their color is usually described is being pale bronze, looking rather gray with a greenish tint. A multi-colored tarnish may exist as a result of oxidation. With a metallic luster and opaque crystals, marcasite ranks 6.0-6.5 on the Mohs Scale. Occurrences are worldwide, especially in the United States, Mexico, France, Peru, China and Russia.

I am a bit at loss here. My DS is seriously uncontrollable at the moment. He is 4, diagnosed with ADHD and really cute when well behaved, but becomes a maniac monster when he gets tired and/or hungry or whatever.
Today he just hit his big sister (DD1 - 6 years) with a wooden plank out of a toddler bed (like this two planks you can take out to allow the toddler to leave the bed on his own?) He hit her on her head without any fight or anything.
He just said (according to DD) "I am going to hit you" And she tried to run but couldn't run fast enough :(
I didn't hear anything because there was no fight. I obviously hurt DD crying and intervened at once (neither gently nor calm I must admit). DS had to got to bed immediatly (because not controllalbe = really dead tired) and I took care of DD who knocked her head on a cupboard when he hit her.
What should I do now? I will see an occupational therapist tomorrow about him. He is newly diagnosed, as is DD1. I don't know how I can make sure that DD is safe - I do not even think he did hurt her intentionally, but that doesn't make it less dangerous. What to do?
Trin with DH , DD(7) and DS(5) , DD(2) , ,
I am not regularly online at the moment due to the above ...

I just replied on your other thread - I understand you're trying to live consensually, but at this point we're not just talking broken toys or crayoned walls. I'm glad you're seeing an OT/whoever else you might need, but I think it might be time to read up some more on consensual living and get some ideas from old archived threads we used to have on consensual living years ago, and/or consider logical consequences for things like this (as in - hit your sister in the head with a plank, have to play alone with boring toys the rest of the day - or the next day, if it's bedtime).
My husband is ADD and at least one of the kids exhibits traits, so I get it. From my own experience, I've had to own that sometimes we have to give up the preconceived ideal of how we imagined parenting, and parent in a way that is better for the kids that we actually have - especially when those kids have wiring problems and respond to situations differently. It doesn't mean throwing everything away and beciming a strict authoritarian jerk, it just means that they might need some firmer boundaries.
Good luck!
thank you for your reply.
I am lost in this kind of situation. DS did not have dinner with us, because I put him to bed and he was asleep before we had dinner, that could be seen punitive or logical or even natural (tired = needs sleep)
I just don't really see why he did this in the first place. Is it something he kind of didn't know better? or did he intentionally want to hurt his sister? If so, what should I do about it?
they do play beautifully normally. And there is no way to seperate them without constant supervision. plus DD might see it as a punishment for her, too, because she has to play alone.
I am kind of lost :(
But I seriously don't want any of my kids hit by a plank. ever.
Trin with DH , DD(7) and DS(5) , DD(2) , ,
I am not regularly online at the moment due to the above ...
Even if you don't want to impose consequences I think it is still important to point out when a behavior isn't appropriate and say why. When something like hitting happens it is also sometimes very effective to ask the child who hit why they hit and help them brainstorm solutions for the next time they want to hit.
I sounds like you might be a little worried about the children seeming to not care for other people's feelings. Some of that is typical for the age but if it is a concern I suggest the book Raising a Thinking Child by Myrna Shure. This author has some wonderful suggestions with real life examples for raising emotional awareness for young children and the family as a whole.
OK, re: ADD - my kids come up with the craziest ass things that they think sound totally reasonable and exciting to try and can't wait to see what would happen. Fortunately, none of those ideas have been ''let's see what happens if I hit you with this", but I could see it happening with a young impulsive kid, without there being malice, so I wouldn't worry too much about that at this point. He's only 4, you've got lots of time to work with him.
Having said that, that's where the consequence comes in - if they are given a real firm structure of laid out problems and consequences, that can be the governor on their motor until theirs really develops more. And for a lot of ADD kids, they sometimes really need that external governor. especially when the actions we're talking about aren't just affecting them. My daughter, the one who seems to have some of the traits, has an ACID tongue and is quick to jump to (incorrect) conclusions, and while she doesn't really attack people unprovoked, she retaliates fiercly and she is strong. So we've got pretty firm boundaries around all of that. My husband is on medication - and quite frankly it has saved our marriage.....he has tried other coping strategies, but this is the only/first one that he has ever said makes him PAUSE before doing things, and think about various outcomes that might not be great. It's the governor for him, he says. Now to be clear, I am NOT saying to medicate your kid. My husband wasn't diagnosed until he ws 30, so he didn't have a childhood full of learning coping strategies and basically would rather take the pill...and he's an adult so that's his choice. With a kid, you've got years and years to help teach them coping, and I think part of that is holding the reigns for impulsive kids until they're able to, especially when those impulses can turn sour.

Pregenerated level previews for Enigma
Enigma is a puzzle game similar to Oxyd on the Atari ST or Rock'n'Roll on the Amiga and good old Marble Madness. It also has Sokoban levels, and some interesting twists on the original sokoban concept.
In Enigma, your objective is to locate and uncover matching pairs of Oxyd stones. Simple as it sounds, this task is made more difficult by the fact that Oxyd stones tend to be hidden, inaccessible or protected by unexpected traps. Overcoming these obstacles often requires a lot of dexterity and wit (and can be quite addicting).
This package contains thumbnails for enigma levels. If you have excess diskspace but a slow CPU or multiple users, you can install this package. It is however not needed for enigma operation, as thumbnails will be generated by the user on demand. Since generated thumbnails are stored in the users home directory, it is recommended to install this package on multi-user systems, to avoid having multiple copies.

The BlogThe Credibility DeficitIs President Bush's new economic team up to handling a falling dollar, rising interest rates, and the oil problem?11:00 PM, Dec 13, 2004
• By IRWIN M. STELZER
PRESIDENT BUSH'S CHANCES of keeping world financial markets calm while pushing through Social Security and tax reform took a dive last week. Remember: If the president is to succeed in privatizing a portion of the Social Security system, he will have to persuade financial markets that it is safe to run even larger budget deficits, at least for awhile, as between $2 trillion and $5 trillion are diverted from the government pot into private accounts over the next decade. And if he is to reform the tax system by closing loopholes so that overall rates can be reduced, he will have to persuade Congress to take the political risk of creating the inevitable losers. That means the president needs an economic team every bit as powerful and weighty as his foreign policy team. It is not to be. Bush has chosen to reappoint John Snow to the Treasury. Snow has been a loyal foot soldier, willing to travel the world to repeat that America favors both a strong dollar and one set by market forces. Since market forces, such as they are in currency markets, are progressively weakening the dollar, it is unlikely that the secretary fails to see the contradiction in his statement. Such loyal parroting of the White House line has its obvious rewards, but it does not make for credibility of the sort that the administration will need in the coming months. A credibility deficit is not the only problem. Ideas matter in crafting economic policy, and since the departure of Larry Lindsey, few seem to have come to Bush's attention from his economic team. Stephen Friedman, departing from his job as head of the National Economic Council, has been all but invisible. If he has left any major policy ideas behind, word of them has not leaked out. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, has been in exile since he offered the quite sensible opinion that outsourcing is a good thing, since it improves the competitiveness of American firms. This displeased Karl Rove, who was more concerned about carrying job-short Ohio than having the president's economist teach a course in the virtues of free trade. Mankiw, it will be recalled, has not only said that pension benefits must be cut if the books are to be balanced, but is the author of a leading textbook that teaches, "The most basic lesson about a budget deficit [is]: . . . When the government reduces national saving by running a budget deficit, the interest rate rises, and investment falls." Not the sort of stuff a criticism-averse White House wants to hear as it fights to have its tax cuts made permanent, and revenues siphoned from the Treasury into private retirement accounts. Mankiw will be relieved to return to Harvard, where criticism of the president is not only tolerated, but required for academic advancement. Friedman and Mankiw's departure will be followed shortly by the retirement of Alan Greenspan when his term as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board expires in just 13 months. That is both bad and good news, bad because it removes a seasoned hand from the monetary policy controls, good because Greenspan might feel free to abandon studied obscurity in favor of clarity of expression on economic policy matters. THE DEPARTURE of all of these economists, save Snow, presents the president with an opportunity to staff up with people with real ideas--a conservative free-marketeer who would argue against further expansion of the government might even be found. But a search for ideas does not seem to be the administration's top priority. The president's decision to exclude from tomorrow's White House conclave on economic policy anyone who might raise a dissenting voice, suggests that the meeting is intended more to provide Bush with photo ops than with new ideas on how to cope with the trade and budget deficits, the consequences of the falling dollar and rising interest rates, or continued dangerous reliance on imported oil. Unfortunately, the administration appears to think that Karl Rove, the political genius whose knowledge of every district in Ohio contributed mightily to the president's reelection, can also craft a sensible economic program. The decision to run economic policy "out of Karl Rove's hip pocket," says the Wall Street Journal, "sufficed in the first term when tax cutting was the main policy focus, but it isn't likely to work for another four years . . . . Mr. Rove knows a lot, but we doubt he knows how to work out the next Long Term Capital Management failure, much less handle a dollar crisis." But look on the bright side. Bush enters his second term with an economy that is growing at an annual rate of around 4 percent. Inflation is tame, and the dollar's downward movement has so far been more of a drift than a plunge. If past experience is any guide, a cheaper dollar might, just might, bring the trade deficit down to manageable levels. |

"The oboe. The official instrument of the International Order of Travel Agents. If the duck was a song bird, it would sound like this: nasal, desolate, the call of migratory things. "
- Mr. Lies to Harper Pitt, Perestroika IV, Angels in America
This quote from the HBO-produced Mike Nichols film Angels in America is typical of much of the script quirky, intellectual, and hinting at deeper personal unrest. The concept of "migration" in man's personal affairs of people fleeing their loved ones in time of need lies at the heart of the searing Tony Kushner play from which the film is adapted. Stricken with AIDS in New York of the late 1980s, Prior Walter (Justin Kirk) is abandoned by his lover (and self-loathing non-practising Jew) Louis Armstrong (Ben Shenkman). The latter flees into the arms of gay Republican Mormon lawyer Joe Pitt (Patrick Wilson) whose marriage to the delusional Harper (Mary-Louise Parker) is on the rocks, even as he draws closer to the AIDS stricken closet-bound doyen of the Right, Roy Cohn (Al Pacino). Into the lives of each of these characters, and especially Prior Walter, come the Angels of America who, unable to keep up with affairs in light of God's abandonment of the world (this happened in 1906 apparently), demand (through Emma Thompson) that Walter deliver a message to the masses: stop the migration of people from one relationship to the next. Meryl Streep also figures into affairs in no fewer than four roles Pitt's devout Mormon mother and Cohn's personal demon Ethel Rosenberg among them.
It's a heady brew to be sure, and not for all tastes. It is the ideal project for Thomas Newman though. Newman has stated in the past that his scoring is often more about "subtext" than "parallel comment" i.e. more about underlining and deepening the audience's experience of a scene than to tell them what's happening with music as well as pictures. That is genuinely what this film needs. The average viewer of Angels in America doesn't need to be told that they are watching a strange film. What they do need is a musical score that will help them identify with the surreal situations depicted. And Newman's great work does precisely that, illustrating and commenting on the themes of Kushner's screenplay with effortless grace.
Taking his cue from Mr. Lies, the oboe "the call of migratory things" is central to Newman's three main themes. His theme for America and the spirit of pioneering is the centrepiece of "Angels in America (Main Titles)", which is dominated by a beautiful dialogue for oboe and string orchestra, ending with superb choral and brass harmonisation. Appearing more frequently in the film than the album, it becomes a motif for Mother Pitt's reluctant but compassionate entry into Prior Walter's painful world, appearing again in "Mormons" in a beguiling duet for guitar and fiddle. There is also a theme for the idea of emotional migration, first presented for oboe and strings in "Ellis Island". It a gorgeous piece along the lines of the family theme from Finding Nemo, in the film accompanying situations that illustrate the idea of characters cutting free of their loved ones and moving on with life. On the album this theme appears again for strings in "Bethesda" and for female vocalists in "Tropopause". The counter-pointing of the two vocalists and strings in the latter is particularly lovely.
The highlight of the score is the oboe, clarinet and string based theme for Prior Walter's angelic mission, and Newman uses it well to illustrate the change in emphasis of that mission over the course of the film. In "Ozone", the bittersweet theme accompanies an attempt by one of the characters to fulfil the angelic instruction and restore a past relationship. As Walter comes to reject his prophetic office and desire only "More Life", Newman's use of this theme in that cue communicates that Walter really has discovered a calling greater than that place upon him by the Godless angels. "The Great Work Begins (End Title)" offers the most extended development of the theme, and is surely the masterpiece of Thomas Newman's career to date. Coupled with "Tropopause" (which follows without a break), even if the rest of this score was rubbish, this finale piece would justify the purchase. Comparisons to George Delerue's Agnes of God or Wojciech Kilar's Portrait of a Lady are not without merit.
Of course as with most of Newman's scores, the rest is not rubbish. To represent the presence of Kushner's profane but well-intentioned angels, Angels in America features Newman's most extended use of choral elements since Oscar and Lucinda. A boy soprano singing from the Requiem mass signals their presence in "Threshold of Revelation", "The Broom of Truth", "Plasma Orgasmata" and "Garden of the Soul". For the fiery copulation of angels the "Plasma Orgasmata" only a breathtaking string and choral epiphany will suffice and it appears in the latter two cues. Newman's work in these cues is crucial to giving Kushner's angels a sense of seriousness that their actions tend to subvert on screen. Elsewhere some of the choral writing borders of baroque pastiche ("The Infinite Descent"), which undermines the seriousness of proceedings slightly.
A half hour score based on the above elements would doubtless be regarded as the best score of the year by fans of orchestral film music. Potential buyers should note that the album does contain about thirty minutes that is quite removed stylistically from those elements described above. Newman's flare for ambience is evident in the subtly melodic "Quartet" and "Mauve Antarctica". American Beauty style mixtures of guitar and marimba add offbeat colour with "The Ramble" and the Flamenco-flavoured "Spotty Monster". There is some truly Goldenthal-like action writing for choir and guitar in "Her Fabulous Insipience" and "Submit!". These together with the dissonant brass and percussion of "Black Angel" make me wonder what sort of scores Newman might write were he not solely given to scoring quality dramas. And of course there are plenty of cues ("Umdankbar Kind", "Bayeux Tapestry") where Newman's strings and woodwinds just wander, ever looking for a resolution that is always out of reach.
While for this reviewer the album's eclecticism only adds to its flavour, others may want to survey the breadth of the score before purchasing. The score is well performed and mixed, the album from Nonesuch including three source cues in addition to a generous helping of Newman's score. Their inclusion does not greatly interrupt the flow of the album (probably because it is so eclectic), but one wonders why Mancini's "Moon River" (used so effectively in the film) wasn't included. I also wish that some of the good unreleased cues had found their way onto the disc in their place. In any case, it's the best of the year. It's hard to believe that after two such powerful works as Finding Nemo and Road to Perdition that Newman has so successfully raised the bar with this score. In part the slightly deeper-than-average source material must be credited, and this work will probably standout as a highpoint in Newman's body of work in years to come.

Vic Power had a great name for a first baseman, but it wasn't very fitting. Rather than the typical slugging corner infielder, he averaged just about 10 home runs per season in an era when Mickey Mantle was blasting 50. Instead, he had a different set of talents, including a fantastic glove and a selective eye at the plate. Even though he played just four seasons with the Indians, it was enough that he should be considered among the greatest first basemen in team history.
Power was a 30 year old veteran when he finally came to Cleveland, already owner of a Gold Glove and two All-Star appearances. After spending his entire career to that point with the Philadelphia/Kansas City Athletics, in the middle of 1958, Power was traded, along with power hitting short stop Woodie Held, to the Indians in exchange for future home run king, Roger Maris. While both Power and Held had strong careers with the Indians, the trade has to go down as one of the worst in team history as Maris became a super star for the New York Yankees.
Power certainly pulled his part of the deal as he quickly became the greatest defensive first baseman in Indians history. He still has the least amount of errors (21) among all players with at least 300 games at first and has the best fielding percentage (.995) as well. In addition, he is the only Indians first baseman to ever win a Gold Glove and he won three while with the team.
He was also impressive at the plate, especially when it came to striking out. Power struck out less than almost anyone else and remains 61st in MLB history in at bats per strike out. In his first partial season with the team, he actually struck out (11) less often than he hit a home run (12). After that, he never struck out more than 22 times in a year, despite playing in exactly 147 games each season. He was also a very versatile player and proved he could hit anywhere in the line-up by scoring 102 runs at the top of the line-up in 1959, then moving to a more prominent position and knocking in 84 after the departure of Rocky Colavito.
Prior to the 1962 season, the Indians sent Power packing, despite a great short run, and replaced him at first with Tito Francona, who was previously the left fielder. In exchange for Power, the Indians netted Pedro Ramos from the Twins in another of many terrible deals during the 1950's and 1960's that doomed the team to unimportance for decades. While Ramos pitched just parts of three seasons in Cleveland, going 26-30, Power went on to win three more Gold Gloves and knock in 152 more runs during his final four seasons. After 124 games in 1965 with the Angels, Power retired from baseball and moved back to Puerto Rico, where he lived until he died in 2005.
In the end, Power was kept out of the Hall of Fame, but he still deserves credit as not just one of the greatest Indians first basemen of all-time, but one of the best in the history of baseball. Only three players have won more Gold Gloves at first base than Power's seven and he was the first to do so. While not much emphasis is usually placed on playing a strong first base, it is a corner stone of the game of baseball and none did it better than Vic Power.

I had one and like a dummy I sold it. It was accurate and reliable. Fit and finish was excellent. It fed hollow point and ball equally well. With hotter loads it can be a bit "snappy" for a 9mm.
Thanks for input. Duly noted. Anybody else???

Then please tell us about it in the official thread, not here. This thread is for discussing the LACK of a Bleach episode.
I wish I knew why we needed a thread to discuss the lack of an episode, but at least we had fun with it.

I may be late with this reply and it's probably useless anyway :P , but just wanted to tell ya that I got the fake sub that time and it was ,,magnificent", I even put it in the ,,funny videos" category, mostly for the effect: Bleach op, Bleach ending, in the middle japanesse guys playing baseball :lol: So I think that answer all your questions on what exactly happened there. Some bastard probably wanted to have some fun, if (s)he bothered to paste the op and ending, lol.
